Nora walked into the classroom, still thinking this was a crazy assignment to take, all the diapers she had to change, the feeding, the back patting to make the /baby/ burp, the hours of sleep she'd lose. But then, Ethan had agreed (though kind of fought the thought for a moment) to help, which encouraged her a little bit more to do it.

They could make it, three months. No big deal, right?

"Good day, Professor! I'll take a baby. My partner isn't here yet, Ethan Denton, we're gonna co-parent..." Her words, felt like an oath. They were going to take care of a doll baby 24/7 for three months.
